My bank balance says I can finnaly buy a kit, so thats what I intend to do (plus I need it so I can race my friends XR6T >_>). Only looking for about 300whp (or about 9, 10 psi of boost).

My Supra: 1993 4th month, 2JZ-GE with 119,000km.

Just got a couple of questions about the XS power kit.

1: Is there much difference (in the looks of the 3" vs the 4") intecooler, and how much extra is it?

2: How much would it cost to ship to Australia?

3: Anything else that anyone would suggest doing to my car before installing the kit?

Thanks for your help :)

first off what's xr6t? I want pics!

Ok.... 10PSi will be about 340-350WHP...... here's your answers:

1. they look identical from the front of the car, the 3" is a better choice for you.... :)

2. Shipping for the complete kit to Australia will run ~$285 - I will get you a firm qoute when you order - need address info.

3. For 300WHP there is nothing to do except start scoping out the chicky you want in the passenger seat for your first 10PSI ride. :lol:

that's cool, never seen one of those. I have always had the image of australia having a badass car scene basically because of the Mad Max interceptors

Hey mate,

Im also from Australia, I just bought the xs power kit from Mark,
EXCELLENT QUALITY.

looks great.

Where abouts from Aus are you?
there are a few guys in Aus doing na-t conversions at the moment.

I think with 300 hp atw you will have no probs beating an xr6t,
especially if you are keeping high compression.
(thats another thing you might have to look into if funning 10psi)

but Mark is the best to deal with, you will be very Happy :)

any questions feel free to ask.

good luck :)

I wouldn't refer to it as one, but a lot of the bogans will. All they talk about is Fords and Holdens, drives me nuts. Must show up their precious cars so they'll stop giving me crap about buying a Toyota.

One of my mates recently bought a 2005 HSV Clubsport (the 6.0L V8 Chevy), for about 43 grand his parents sooked at him for doing so. When I got back from picking up my car I went and showed his parents and now they keep asking why he didn't buy one like mine XD its got comparable sting as it is with half the engine capacity >_>
